Hmmm. I own an SLR, the Pilot Six, made first in 1936. I think there were a couple of other roll-film SLRs before that, too. And an argument could be made that all view cameras are SLRs...

This graphic shows the first SLR in 1948 -- that is a rather 35mm-ist view of the world.

Hmm. Not sure about all view cameras being SLRs: they'd need a mirror (the "reflex" part).
